The key step involves rinsing the konjac rice and dry-frying it in a pan without oil. This technique evaporates excess moisture and transforms the wet grains into a firm, chewy texture. To overcome the bland flavor of konjac, the dish uses a small combination of soy sauce and oyster sauce seasoned along the edges of the pan. Chopped green onions and carrots are sautéed in oil before adding chicken breast. Pushing these ingredients to one side to scramble the eggs separately keeps the eggs tender instead of rubbery. Finishing with a pinch of black pepper completes the savory profile. For longer satiety, cooking the konjac grains mixed with regular rice in a one-to-one ratio is recommended.

Instructions
Read the steps as a cooking flow: prep, heat, seasoning, doneness control, and finish.
- 1Prep
Rinse 200 g konjac rice in a sieve under cold water, then drain for at least 5 minutes.
Finely chop the green onion and carrot, and cut the chicken breast into bite-size pieces.
- 2Control
Heat a dry pan over medium heat, add the konjac rice, and stir-fry for 4 to 5 minutes.
When steam decreases and the grains move separately instead of clumping, transfer it out briefly.
- 3Control
Add 1 tablespoon cooking oil and the green onion to the same pan, then stir-fry over medium heat for 30 seconds.
Once fragrant, add the chicken breast and carrot, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
- 4Prep
When the chicken surface turns white, push the ingredients to one side and pour in 2 beaten eggs.
As the edges begin to set, stir gently with chopsticks or a spatula to make soft curds.
- 5Season
Return the konjac rice to the pan and raise the heat to medium-high.
Pour 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 0.5 tablespoon oyster sauce around the pan edge, then stir-fry for 2 minutes so nothing sticks.
- 6Finish
When the seasoning is evenly absorbed, turn off the heat and sprinkle 1 pinch of black pepper.
Check that the grains look loose and no moisture remains in the pan, then serve immediately.
